How the match went

Fluminense started the match with possession of the ball, but struggled with Remo's counterattacks. First, Patrick de Paula tried from distance and forced Fábio to make a good save. Then, Alef Manga was sent through, but the tricolor goalkeeper came out of the box to save the Cariocas.

Gradually, the visitors began to attack with quality and, at 15 minutes, opened the scoring. After a scramble in the box, Renê shot across goal and John Kennedy appeared to redirect it into the net.

Only in the final minutes did Remo manage to advance with quality again. The home team almost equalized at 40 minutes. Vitor Bueno took advantage of a cross and headed for a great save by Fábio. Fluminense responded right after. In a quick advance, John Kennedy received a pass in the box, got past the defender and shot for a great save by Marcelo Rangel. Even so, the visitors kept their lead at halftime.

In the second half, Remo even tried to press for an equalizer, but made too many mistakes. As a result, Fluminense had space to advance on the counterattacks. So much so that the Cariocas extended the lead at 17 minutes. Lucho Acosta crossed for Canobbio to head into the net and seal the final score.
